Eiffage Infrastructures has signed a partnership agreement with the Swedish company, Bioservo Technologies, to experiment with this robotic glove from the exoskeleton family. It increases natural hand strength, thus reducing fatigue in muscles caused by exerting effort.
 
The glove fingers are fitted with sensors. On the least contact they activate the motors present in the control unit and give the fingers of the hand the necessary force and grip. The glove replicates nerves, tendons and muscles to recreate the dexterity of the human hand using sensors and synthetic tendons.
 
The experiment started in September in an Eiffage Route team and was then continued on an Eiffage Metal site; in December it will be the turn of civil engineering personnel to experiment with this technology that combines performance with well-being at work ;
 
A research convention for the study of exoskeletons - On 20 November Eiffage Infrastructures renewed the research and collaboration convention with the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Florence in Italy. This convention, initiated a year ago, relates to the study of exoskeletons suitable for public works and construction disciplines.An initial study has already been conducted on a civil engineering work station with the collaboration of the Fondation Don Carlo Gnocci and the École Nationale Supérieure de Techniques A
